Accessibility Statement

Brewer Quilt & Design is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including users with disabilities. We believe that access to information about our custom textile workroom and services should not depend on the device, browser, or assistive technology a visitor uses. This statement describes the steps we take to support accessibility, the standards we aim to meet, and how to reach us if you encounter a barrier. Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a widely recognized standard for accessible web content.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort for us. As we add content and features to the site, we work to apply accessible design and development practices from the start, and we review existing pages for common issues. While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across the site, we recognize that some areas may not yet be fully conformant, and we welcome your feedback to help us improve.

Measures We Take

To support accessibility, we have incorporated several practices into the design and maintenance of our website. We use semantic HTML5 so that page structure, headings, landmarks, and lists are meaningful to assistive technologies. Our site is designed to be navigable by keyboard alone, so visitors who do not use a mouse can move through navigation, links, forms, and interactive elements such as the cookie preferences dialog.

We aim to maintain sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds so content is readable for users with low vision, and we provide text alternatives for meaningful images through descriptive alt text. Our forms include labels and instructions so each field's purpose is clear, and we provide skip links to let keyboard and screen reader users bypass repeated navigation and jump directly to main content. We also respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting, reducing or removing non-essential animation for visitors who prefer reduced motion.

Compatibility

Our website is designed to work with modern, commonly used browsers and with the assistive technologies that pair with them, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition tools. We test pages using current versions of major browsers and review them with accessibility tools to catch common issues such as missing labels, low contrast, and broken keyboard focus.

Despite these efforts, the site may not display or function perfectly in older or less common browsers, or in combination with every assistive technology. Compatibility may also be affected by a visitor's own browser settings, plugins, or device configuration. If you encounter a problem in a specific browser or tool, please let us know so we can investigate and, where possible, address it.

Known Limitations

While we work to keep our own pages accessible, our site includes some content provided by third parties that we do not fully control. For example, the embedded Google Maps map on our Contact page and the FormSubmit.co service that processes our contact and quote forms are operated by external providers and may have their own accessibility characteristics and limitations. We cannot guarantee that all third-party content will fully conform to our accessibility goals.

If you have difficulty accessing any part of our site, including a third-party feature such as the map or a form, please contact us using the details below. Where we can, we will provide the information you need in an accessible alternative format or help you complete the action another way. We treat accessibility feedback seriously and use it to prioritize improvements.

Third-Party Content

As noted above, parts of our site rely on third-party services. The embedded Google Maps map and the FormSubmit.co form processing service are the most common examples. These services are provided by companies that operate independently, and their accessibility may differ from the standards we apply to our own pages. We encourage you to consult the documentation and accessibility statements of those providers if you encounter difficulty with their components.

We continue to monitor the third-party services we use and, where accessible alternatives are available, we evaluate whether to adopt them. If a third-party feature creates a persistent barrier, please tell us; in some cases we can provide the same information or function through another channel, such as by phone or email, so you are not disadvantaged by the limitation.
